صلاة السفر

Journey Prayer

It is said that one should offer two units of prayer before departing on a journey (Ṣalāt al-Khurūj ilā al-Safar), and upon returning from the journey (Ṣalāt al-ʿAwda).

Maqtām ibn al-Miqdām reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

“No one has left behind with their family anything better than two rakʿahs offered at home when intending to travel.”

[Reported by al-Ṭabarānī]

Kaʿb ibn Mālik رضي الله عنه relates:

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would not return from a journey except during the daytime, in the forenoon. When he arrived, he would first go to the mosque and pray two rakʿahs therein, then sit.”

[Muslim]

Whoever intends to travel may offer two rakʿahs of prayer at home before departing. When he returns from his journey, he should go to the mosque and offer two rakʿahs therein.

[Radd al-Muḥtār, 1:459]

Post-Sunrise Prayer

Ṣalāt al-Ishrāq is a voluntary (nafl) prayer performed after sunrise, once the sun has risen sufficiently above the horizon.

After completing Fajr Ṣalāh, a person may remain in the place where he prayed, engaging in dhikr, tasbīḥ, Qur’an recitation and other acts of worship until after sunrise. Thereafter, he may stand and offer two or more rakʿahs of nafl prayer.

There are narrations concerning the great virtues of this prayer.

Abū Hurayrah رضي الله عنه relates that the Prophet ﷺ said:

“Whoever regularly performs the Ishrāq prayer will have his minor sins forgiven, even if they are as numerous as the foam of the sea.”

[Reported by al-Tirmidhī and Ibn Mājah]

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ is also reported to have said that Allah تعالى says:

“O son of Ādam, perform four rakʿahs for Me at the beginning of the day, and I shall suffice you for the rest of your day.”

[Mishkāt, p. 116]

In another narration reported by al-Tirmidhī, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is reported to have said:

“Whoever performs Fajr Ṣalāh in congregation, then remains seated in the same place while engaging in the remembrance of Allah until after sunrise, and thereafter performs two rakʿahs of nafl prayer, will receive the reward of one complete Hajj and one complete ʿUmrah.”

[Al-Tirmidhī]

🔹 ṢALĀT AL-EID

Eid is one of the memorable and joyful occasions in the Islamic calendar.

Eid al-Fiṭr is a day of blessings and joy for fasting Muslims, as they hope for a great reward from Almighty Allah for their righteous observance of the fast.

At the end of Ramadan, Muslims express their gratitude to Allah ﷻ, Who enabled them to observe the fast and blessed them with abundant provision throughout this blessed month.

Eid al-Fiṭr is therefore a day of joy, worship, gratitude to Allah, cooperation, solidarity, brotherhood, unity, and spiritual renewal.

Shedding more light on this issue, the late Shaykh Sayyid Ad-Darsh, former Chairman of the UK Shariah Council, said:

“True joy is our Eid; it is our feast. During the month of Ramadan, Allah puts us through a test. At the end of the month, there is a great sense of achievement and a feeling of coming closer to the Almighty. It is the joy of spiritual fulfilment. It is a time for celebration, not a time to indulge in insulting or abusing others or detracting from the achievements of the month of Ramadan; it’s a day of real joy.”

End of today’s education.

Subḥānaka Allāhumma wa biḥamdik, ash-hadu an lā ilāha illā Anta, astaghfiruka wa atūbu ilayk.

After referring to several reliable books, we have established that the issue of seeing whiteness, grass, plants, paper, milk, or other specific things in a dream after performing Istikhārah has no basis in Islam.

What we should look forward to is that Allah ﷻ will ease and guide us towards what is best.

May He strengthen us and make us steadfast in faith. May He accept our acts of worship and grant us goodness in this world and in the Hereafter.

May Allah ʿAzza wa Jalla forgive us and grant us Jannatul Firdaus.

ĀMĪN.

HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Al-Khamis, 22nd day of Jumaadal Uula 1447AH, Thursday, 13th November, 2025.  *_HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN_*. BismilLah.  When we help our brothers and sisters in Islam, in reality, we are helping ourselves. The Messenger of ALLAH (S.A.W) said: He who relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, ALLAH Azzawajallah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Judgment. He who makes easy what is difficult, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will make it easy for him in the world and the hereafter. He who conceals the faults of a Muslim, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will conceal his faults in this ALLAH Azzawajallah world and the Hereafter, for ALLAH helps the servant as long as he helps his brother. Source: Ṣaḥīḥ "Muslim 2699. AlhamdulilLah.  With this I hope with immediate effect we will all strive to help each other in any possible way such as making dua for each other, supporting our relatives and those in need in ou...

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD

 *BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD* It is best to delay this prayer to the last third portion of the night. Abu Hurairah reports that the Messenger of Allah said: "Our Lord descends to the lowest heaven during the last third of the night, inquiring: 'Who will call on Me so that I may respond to him? Who is asking something of Me so I may give it to him? Who is asking for My forgiveness so I may forgive him?"' This is related by the group. 'Amr ibn Abasah reports that he heard the Prophet say: "The closest that a slave comes to his Lord is during the middle of the latter portion of the night. If you can be among those who remember Allah, the Exalted One, at that time then do so." This is related by al-Hakim who grades it sahih according to Muslim's standards, and at-Tirmizhi calls it hasan sahih. AnNasa'i and Ibn Khuzaimah also recorded it. Abu Muslim asked Abu Zharr: "Which late-night prayer is the best?" He said: "I asked the Messenger of A...
